Cosy Victorian townhouse ideal for families and groups

Abernethy is a beautifully restored Victorian town house, sleeping up to 12, right in the heart of the famous Lake District town of Keswick.

The traditional slate built town house is restored to a high specification with natural wooden floors, an open fire, retained period features, central heating throughout, instant hot water, Wifi, TV, DVD, fabulous dining table for group meals, spacious lounge with mountain views and a well equipped kitchen.

With a lockable outhouse, utility and warm under-stair cupboard there is ample space for storing kit whether it be muddy boots, bikes, waterproofs, ropes, umbrellas or canoes.

The house is a 5 minute flat, walk from the town centre with its shops, bars, restaurants and all Keswick attractions making this a superb venue for a family or friends holiday or a group/business activity challenge.

Abernethy can usually be booked for weekends, flexible mid-week or full weeks.

The house is in a perfect, central location in a quiet residential area. We do ask guests to be respectful to our neighbours and ensure noise is reduced to a sociable non-disruptive level by late evening. There are plenty of places in Keswick where a fun party spirit can be enjoyed until the early hours.

Parking is free and unrestricted on the street and on neighbouring lanes and streets.

Keswick is a quaint market town with a plethora of independent shops, bars, restaurants, galleries and traditional Lakeland pubs. These fine facilities matched with a multitude of Outdoor Pursuits accessible on foot from the town, make Keswick a superb base from which to explore, adventure or simply observe and relax. There really is something for all generations with a well established theatre, indoor pool with flumes, cinema, climbing walls, 1000metre plus fells, lake, water-sports and biking trails all within 5 mins from the town centre.

The Lake District National Park is a beautiful area in Northwest England. Covering over 800 square miles. It is the largest National Park in England. The beauty and grandeur of the scenery is a key reason for making the area a National Park. The National Park has magnificent countryside, mountains and lakes. The Lake District is a great venue for walking, cycling, mountaineering, watersports or pottering around the charming market towns and villages.

Great townhouse in Keswick, perfect for groups
A very well appointed townhouse in Keswick that is perfect for groups. Crucially it has not just the beds, but also the living and kitchen space to properly accommodate 10 or 11 people. All the local amenities of Keswick are close by as are the Fells. We had a great time and will come again. The owners were friendly and helpful.

Perfect base for visiting Keswick
The accommodation was perfect for our large family get together for 9 people. All the check in arrangements worked well and everything was clean and tidy on arrival. It was was warm and cosy. Having the three bathrooms meant no one had to wait to get a shower in the morning. Having a dishwasher was a real bonus too. Very convenient for all the shops in Keswick being only a 5 minute walk into the centre.
